Comment (by nomeata):

 Timing before my patches:
 {{{
 $ time PATH_INFO=/xmonad-0.8.1 ./package >/dev/null
 real    0m0.021s
 user    0m0.012s
 sys     0m0.008s
 }}}

 Timing with the global package map:
 {{{
 $ time PATH_INFO=/xmonad-0.8.1 ./package >/dev/null
 real    0m0.063s
 user    0m0.048s
 sys     0m0.008s
 }}}

 So you are right. I prepared a patch that adds a small tool,
 splitDistroMap, which copies the information into small files per package
 (not package+version, one level higher), and now the runtime is
 acceptable:

 {{{
 $ time PATH_INFO=/xmonad-0.8.1 ./package >/dev/null
 real    0m0.022s
 user    0m0.016s
 sys     0m0.004s
 }}}

 I am attaching an updated patch.
